The humanoid robots are taking a major step forward. It is interesting that, after Tesla introduced theirs, another automotive company is moving into the space.
In this video I discuss how this not only validates the industry but also shows how things are changing in not only the automotive industry but also manufacturing.

Oh no, it is the third copy of the same video:
On the topic of humanoid robots - I don't think fully humanoid robots will be all that popular in the future. Only for sex dolls it makes sense (and even there I'm sure all kinds of bunnies, catgirls, elves, succubi and even lamias or mermaids are going to be on the menu). A robo-receptionist in the hotel only needs at most upper half to look like human. Robo-waitress, even if mostly human-like, might use electric rollerblades for efficient transportation. Similarily a robo-nurse, but on top of that might have more "hands". A robo-porter for working outside of buildings might use bigger wheels and there is really not much need for it to look like human, when it can do its work better as a box on wheels with one arm for loading/unloading packages. An automatic lawn mower is perfectly fine looking like today. Having a robot that can be repurposed for vastly different tasks is not really something that will be in high demand (because universal robot comes with a higher cost to manufacture and cost of lost productivity compared to specialized robot), and even if it was, humanoid is far from the most universal and efficient shape.
There are two big topics that AI addresses in the context of robots:
One more thing, that might be developed on the fly, is sort of standard for sensors and "body map". I mean the multipurpose robot might have configurable "limbs" depending on task it is supposed to do. It would make sense for each appendage to come with its own "sensory cortex" to communicate in a standard way with main "brain", so when particular tool is connected, the robot does not have to learn from scratch how to move and use that tool.
Summary:
In this video, Task discusses the misunderstandings and misconceptions surrounding technological advancements, particularly in the field of EVs and battery technology. He uses the example of Gary Black, a Tesla bull, to highlight how even informed individuals can overlook critical aspects of technology. Task emphasizes the rapid progress in battery technology, debunking common arguments against EVs like charging infrastructure and battery materials. He stresses the importance of understanding technological progress and the need to study and follow advancements for a better comprehension of the changing landscape.
Detailed Article:
Task begins by addressing the prevalent misconceptions regarding technological advancements, focusing on EVs and Tesla's development. He criticizes the accusations against Tesla and EVs, citing the case of Gary Black, a Tesla bull who initially overlooked the importance of Tesla's energy division. Task highlights how individuals, even with expertise, can miss critical aspects of technology, emphasizing the need for a deeper understanding of the subject.
The discussion shifts towards EV charging infrastructure, with Task refuting claims of a lack of charging stations by pointing out Tesla's 10% increase in chargers in a short period. He mentions the primary charging location for Tesla owners, primarily at home, and suggests opportunities for businesses like hotels, restaurants, and retailers to provide charging stations, thus expanding the charging network.
Task delves into battery technology advancements, noting the continuous improvements in cost, range, and materials used in batteries. He mentions the reduction of cobalt usage and the evolving battery technology by companies like Panasonic, leading to increased density and range. Task emphasizes the dynamic nature of technology and the gradual advancements that address initial concerns and limitations.
The discussion extends to the broader technological landscape, including robotics and market disruptions. Task illustrates the evolving nature of technology by referencing historical examples like Amazon's transformation from an online bookseller to a disruptive force in the retail industry. He emphasizes the need to understand technological progress beyond superficial knowledge, highlighting the importance of studying advancements and the hype cycle for a comprehensive understanding.
In conclusion, Task stresses the significance of keeping abreast of technological progress to grasp the evolving landscape fully. He encourages viewers to delve deeper into technological advancements to debunk misconceptions and understand the transformative potential of emerging technologies.
